Fiber optic adapter, also called Fiber Optic Coupler, is a small device that used to terminate or link the fiber optic cables or fiber optic connectors between two fiber optic lines. A Fiber Adapter allows fiber-optic cables to be attached to each other singly or in a large network, allowing many devices to communicate at once. Fiber Optic Adapters are widely used in light distribution frame(ODF), optical fiber communications equipment, measuring appliance and so on.

Types

The fiber optic adapters are many types because of the diversity of the connections.

Optical adapter comes in versions to connect single fibers together (simplex), two fibers together (duplex), or sometimes four fibers together (quad).Most adapters are female on both ends, to connect two cables. Connecting two cables together can allow two devices to communicate from a distance through a direct connection with the fiber optic line. Some are male-female, which typically plug into a port on a piece of equipment. This then allows the port to accept a different connector than for which it was originally designed. We discourage this use because we find the adapter extending from the equipment is subject to being bumped and breaking. Also, if not properly routed, the weight of the cable and connector hanging from the adapter may cause some misalignment and a degraded signal.

Function

Fiber optic adapters are typically connecting cables with similar connectors (SC adapter to SC connector, LC adapter to LC Connector, etc.). Some adapters, called “hybrid”, accept different types of connectors (ST to SC, LC to SC, etc.). When attempting to connect two cables that are different shapes, it is necessary to use a hybrid connector.

There are also adapters that can be used to attach a bare fiber-optic cable to a Power Adapter. This piece allows the cable to fit into a connection slot, whether into a mating sleeve or into an electronic device. The fiber-optic cable can be fit into an adapter that works with any of the standard shaped connectors.
